Line 30:

== How many books were planned? ==

I read here that, "Knuth began the project, which was originally planned to be one book, in 1962". Yet on the page about Knuth it says, "...where he became a professor and began work on The Art of Computer Programming, originally planned as a seven-volume series". Can somebody resolve if it was planned as one book or a seven-volume series?

: That is confusing. It was originally planned to be one book. When he started turning in the manuscript, it was clear that one book wouldn't do it, so it was planned to be seven books. Now volume 4 itself will be at least three books. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] [[User talk:Bubba73|(talk)]], 02:31, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
